new version of wordpress is now out: Wordpress 2.1, codename “Ella”
Hey friends: If you use Wordpress, version 2.1 was just released. I’m not sure where I heard about it, but I was inside my hosting account at BlueHost and it noted that a new version of Wordpress was available for installation. BlueHost has this function where it will automatically update your Wordpress software (well, “automatic” once you push the “update” link). At my other web host, it was moi who had to do the updating in a manual fashion. So that’s some great functionality from BlueHost, and all for the same $99 per year price.
On to the update: There is a short list of new features here. There are some VERY NICE functions that I hope to try out, including:
• AUTOSAVE: while you are drafting your post, it will come along and save it, just like when you are using Gmail
• Set any “page” to be the front page for your site, not just the index.php blog page
• Their sql database is better somehow. I noticed it because my blog seemed to load faster
• Links in the blogroll now have subcategories!!! and add categories on the fly!!!
• More AJAX throughout the comments section
So this is me operating with the new Wordpress 2.1… digging it.
